I don't necessarily think it's the love that is different. I think parents have their favorites and may LIKE one child's personality more than the others, but the love aspect stays the same. I have five children and I love them all to pieces. BUT my eight year old is my favorite and the one I dote on. He's survived cancer, always has a smile on his face and no matter what goes wrong for him, he has this notion that it's no big deal because things could always be worse. It amazes me how his brothers can get so upset over something trivial and here is this little boy who's endured so much and never complains.
Please don't confuse the way we treat our children as loving one more than the other. It's not possible. If you ask any mother would she do the same for one child as she would another, the answer would always be yes when it came down to the seriousness of the situation. However, that doesn't mean we don't get along better with one than we do the others. It's human nature. Children are little people with little personalities that vary. Some we click with, some we don't.

It is possible, but I dont see why a good parent would. You will love each child in a different way and for different reasons. Like take my first child for instance, I love him because he was my first, he has so much energy, and keeps me running threw out the day. he is funny, cute, and says some of the sweetest things. I love my second child just as much, but I love the way he is so quite, lovable, and has a smile that can light up a room. They are both different as night and day, but they are both wonderful and I love them equally.
With each child I have to Handel them in different ways. With my oldest I have to repeat myself many times, and even threaten time out to get him to listen. With my youngest I just have to say it once and he is off doing what I asked.
I hope this is what you were asking.

Even though there is favorite child but we should not show openly as it will affect other children. So we have to maintain the equality among the children to avoid the favoritism and for good upbringing so that the children will adopt the same nature within them when we become old.

Unfortunately, I definitely believe that it is possible and most of the time it occurs. BUT I think that my love for each of my children is "different" and that sometimes my love "favoritism" can switch from one child to another, as they grow things seem to change, in their behavior and response to you. Hope that helps. I also know thru my own experience that it would be VERY detrimental for a child to know these things. No one EVER admits this with their mouths to others, it is a great question to ask and answer anonymously.

It is possible. As a fact, most families are that way even though the parents don't admit it. Parents do this because their kids have different personalities and they will like someone's personality better the others and will therefore choose love that child better. It is sad but it happen constantly.

Yes, my parents definately had their favourites. I have two kids of my own and no favourite. The one who needs the most attention at the time, ie when my daughter started school or when my son was having visual problems, tends to get more attention than the other. But it evens out in the end.
I have friends who have definate favourites. A lady at work, when she is skint, will give her 4 girls beans but always makes sure her 2 boys have meat and veg. How terrible is that?

I would not call it loving one child more than the other(s). I have two and I love them both very much. I would give my life for either one of them. But one brings me so much more joy. Always kisses me good bye, never gets in trouble at school, always talks with me at night. The child tries to bond with me. The other one has been a diamond in the rough and I am still working to make it gleam! I will succeed and hope that all that polishing will make for a brilliant shine in adult hood!

i imagine you replied your own question. It sounds obtrusive that she cares more desirable deeply for this new child than her different little ones. I have a cousin like the guy you know. She has 4 little ones, yet surely custody of two. She in no way talks to the different little ones, she would not even tell people she dates about her oldest 2 little ones. the way she acts it truly is as if the oldest little ones do no longer exist. Me if I had lost my little ones i might want to might want to be dedicated because i might want to bypass ape **** with out them.

It is sad but i actually happens the actually favor one child over the other because of age,personality or maybe even looks i have two boys and cant imagine just choosing one to favor they are treated equally always so they have no hard feeling twards eachother and so they know how to treat people in day to day life WITH RESPECT!!!

Yes, I know it's possible because I was the UNchosen one and it took years for me to get over it. I guess because I was quieter and more sensitive and not as cute and funny and happy as my sister. Oh well, I'm glad now because I don't like my parents at all- they are not nice people in general, so to not be loved by bad people doesn't really phase me!
